Quick Leïla Lacan defense thread from Landes-Venezia. Her effortlessness (a useful heuristic) while guarding in isolation and executing basic, important defensive concepts (X out in the third clip) really stands out in conjunction with her length. She does the basic things AND the advanced things.

Cold, like Minnesota. Nasty strongside pindown action, McBride hits it. Ceci not top-locking off the slow cut, gets backscreened. Temi can't call it for her. Great route again and screen from Collier.

The Liberty too, by the way, running the WTF sideline out-of-bounds play, with former Warriors assistant coach Chris DeMarco now the head coach of New York.

No surprise that the Fire, who figure to be a very aggressive defense, show a similar late pressure look against the Sparks. You can see Sarama motion for the double in the first clip and then Bühner seems to look back toward the Fire bench before double in the second clip. (3/4)

Small gameplan details can make a big difference. Against the Mystics, the Liberty made a point of taking away Rori Harmon's strong right hand drive, and Pauline Astier and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton shaded and "weaked" Harmon to great defensive success. Video:

Couple WNBA notes: love the Lynx add of Emma Cechova. Really good mismatch sense and execution on duck-ins and at the rim, some burst on the bounce, good awareness and execution. Minimal playmaking in Euroleague, but Minnesota won't need that with Miles & Williams.

Also a lot to like about Sydney Taylor on the Chicago Sky. Besides a game-high 23 points vs. Atlanta, her game has a snap to it offensively—fireball pass in transition, good first step on drive—that I think gives a great change of pace to Chicago's cluttered backcourt rotation.

A couple of (the many) clips that didn't make it: The Tempo created two turnovers with Nyara Sabally blitzing the ballscreen, against both Georgia Amoore and Sonia Citron, in the fourth quarter. Veteran technique to hold the screener w/inside and attack ball w/outside hand.

cf. @ericapricot.bsky.social "Very bad sequence there" valkyrienation.substack.com/p/playoff-ga... Lift into the needed 45 cut (extremely difficult pass to make to the wing here, kinematically speaking) is pretty tough to execute at speed

Have to give Laeticia Amihere her flowers: she's been tremendous. Per pbpstats, she already has three and-ones this season, matching her seasonal career high through just two games!

Thom Huge might be the most talented voice actor who did one property, only doing the Garfield shows and specials of the 90s and 2000s. It was, at best, a side gig - he worked for Jim Davis in Muncie and they had to fly him in for recording sessions. And yet he was talented as fuck, as seen here:
